10 of the Freakiest Ice Creams

Posted Mon, Jul 20, 2009, 10:46 am PDT
POST A COMMENT »

If you roll your eyes at plain old vanilla ice cream, check out some of these wacko flavors we dug up...

1. Corn-on-the-Cob Ice Cream: You probably shouldn't put butter or salt on this Korean ice-cream novelty. The corn-flavored ice cream rod is covered in a chocolate shell and wrapped in a cob-shaped wafer.

2. Candied-Bacon Ice Cream: Bacon makes everything better, right? Does that theory apply to ice cream? Ice cream conneisseur David Lebovitz creates this butcher-approved dessert, which has a nice smoky/salty/cinnamony balance of flavors.

3. Superman Ice Cream: There's bits of Krypton in it! Not really. This Michigan ice cream phenomenon is a yellow-blue-red swirl of mystery. Is it made of banana? Cotton candy? Just plain ol' food coloring-flavored? This video gets to the bottom of the question.

4. Hamburger Ice Cream: Technically there's no beef or mustard in here, but the hamburger-shaped treats from Blue Bunny Ice Cream do feature sponge-cake buns and gum-drop "pickles."

5. Psychedelic Ice-Cream Bread: In Singapore, men show up on motorbikes with dry-ice-filled bins full of loaves of cottony, rainbow-hued bread to sandwich ice cream flavors such as honeydew, mango, and taro. Again, this is real bread (with crusts). Freaky?

6. Olive-Oil Ice Cream: You put olive oil on your bread. You put olive oil in your salad. Now it's time to put olive oil in your ice cream.

7. Deep-Fried Ice Cream: How do frozen balls not melt in a vat of steamy oil? The cereal coating protects it. This is the ice cream for the french-fry lover in your life.

8. Curry-Carrot Ice Cream: Three things you've probably never eaten all at once, but the Japanese-inspired combo is surprisingly delicious.

9. Spicy Ice Cream: What if you could fuse the effects of salsa with dessert? This cayenne-cinnamon ice cream is cold but definitely gives your tongue a little fire.

10. Vegan Ice Cream: Cows seem integral to the ice cream-making process, but one ice creamery in New York City has found a way to make a flavor of fudge brownie, salted caramel, and pecans out of beans instead of milk.

    At first, I thought there were not a single freaky ice cream in the world. Now that thought is blown away.

    You have to include "The Fat Duck" restaurant. He makes nitrogen-scrambled bacon and egg ice cream. www.theafatduck.co.uk

    The vegan ice cream is 100 times better for you than the regular dairy ice cream.

    You left out avocado ice cream and garlic ice cream. And your number 10 is lame. Vegan ice cream is hardly freaky and is, in fact, very common place. There are many brands, varieties and flavours. Comes in hard and soft-serve. It is not the odd product of one little creamery in NYC. You should get out more and research your articles first. Does Yahoo really pay their writers? Maybe you should try hiring people who remember how to research their topics first, cause most of your columns are poor.
